    Two Yamaha branded ebike modification questions

    Very happy 2019 CrossCore owner and just bought a new Crosscore RC with the wicked 60% off + free battery + 5 year warranty deal Yamaha is running right now. 1. Are the displays swappable? I really prefer the more robust / functional display on the 2019, and the USB plug is handy. I see that...

    What does Bluetooth do?

    Replying in this old thread with some additional info. The Bluetooth capabilities of the Yamaha bikes also work well with fitness watches like Garmin. However if you are a relatively serious athlete take the power readings with a big grain of salt; the power meter on the bike is not well...

    Fast, dual battery torque sensing mid drive commuters?

    I’m looking to upgrade from a class 1 yamaha mid drive bike. I want more speed and range for longer trips for a hilly area. Looking for bikes with a front suspension, a torque-sensing mid-drive with 80+nm, and big battery capacity (or dual batteries). I’d like to be able to do 35-40 mile trips...

To answer a few of the questions above about drive train: they took a hub motor and mounted it fixed to the frame behind the seat post between the panniers...

    Class 3 commuters

    Perhaps by 100% assist he meant doubling the rider power? That would be the eco setting on my Yamaha. I usually ride at 250%. But for kicks let's do the math on that. Let's assume on a flat, a 60lb bike, 185lb rider in an upright-ish position takes 650w of total power to move 28mph (I'm adding...

    Class 3 commuters

    I've put about 5000 spectacular miles all-weather miles on my Yamaha Cross Core, and I'm looking to get something faster that I can practically use as a car replacement for longer errands / trips. I'm an enthusiastic and fit cyclist who enjoys pedaling, and want something that is bike-like- I'm...

    Yamaha PW speed unlockers... SpeedBox2 vs EPlus vs BadAssBox 4 or 3.4

    I really wish the SpeedBox 2 had a configurable speed limit. My jurisdiction limits ebikes to 25mph, and I don’t really want to go faster than that. I may buy one anyway hoping that I can find a good speed / effort / battery consumption balance by adjusting the assist level for terrain. I...

    Yamaha PW speed unlockers... SpeedBox2 vs EPlus vs BadAssBox 4 or 3.4

    Looks like SpeedBox has released a SpeedBox 2 specifically for Yamaha-branded ebikes. Has anyone tried it yet?
